A Charleston Christmas

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many of my favorite photos were taken from <i>Southern Accents</i>, which ceased publication in 2009. I found the following pictures while looking through my clippings file for holiday inspiration. I love adding greenery and berries to mercury glass containers or antique bottles, which Becky Davis of <a href="http://bdbotanicals.com/">Becky Davis Botanicals</a> has done in the Charleston, South Carolina home depicted below. If you would like to see more of her work, my September 27th blog post "<a href="http://aflippenlife.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-touch-of-green.html">A Touch of Green</a>" highlights <a href="http://gardenandgun.com/article/pressed-botanical-art">her recent feature in Garden and Gun</a> (October/November 2012). The Christmas decorations in the following photos complement the historic house and collections of interior decorator <a href="http://jackyelanham.com/">Jackye Lanham</a>. The space she has created is both elegant and welcoming - the perfect Southern home. Enjoy! </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQX4ylc6xzZoKrVUnPNm0aBGi01aY0lNkFtdbSiHLghYGhdXdZPhXmIhqE5Md78U8fJ4DABL_7gGA0413Jy7QC3KoL4P9k9vDARN9a8FsdgkVTM6m0Jo9AspGRMYW0ZmTPxmOtjXK-R87q/s1600/BlogChristmasJackyeLanham.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQX4ylc6xzZoKrVUnPNm0aBGi01aY0lNkFtdbSiHLghYGhdXdZPhXmIhqE5Md78U8fJ4DABL_7gGA0413Jy7QC3KoL4P9k9vDARN9a8FsdgkVTM6m0Jo9AspGRMYW0ZmTPxmOtjXK-R87q/s640/BlogChristmasJackyeLanham.jpg" width="476" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The home's spaces are united by a "soothing greige palette."</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">" 'I kept the colors very cool and neutral because I wanted to create a backdrop to showcase collections and furniture," says homeowner and decorator, Jackye Lanham.  </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Charleston, South Carolina pied-a-terre of Atlanta, Georgia decorator Jackye Lanham </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and her husband Bill.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photographed by Tria Giovan.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Charleston Gem" by Jill Kirchner Simpson.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Southern Accents.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikxIfyqrlllBpObdEdH5sAUDRaHv5tLjMQu5cRzKIsF8LztrRiPHHH2ii5yJzd7Y8rq7kD1vH9JLbOgEBJKV5jeN4uiD1nLSoSSN938rR_dqkzKP7IS4hV473yjWpRO5_Us0adD2nHs08Y/s1600/BlogChristmasJackyeLanham2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikxIfyqrlllBpObdEdH5sAUDRaHv5tLjMQu5cRzKIsF8LztrRiPHHH2ii5yJzd7Y8rq7kD1vH9JLbOgEBJKV5jeN4uiD1nLSoSSN938rR_dqkzKP7IS4hV473yjWpRO5_Us0adD2nHs08Y/s640/BlogChristmasJackyeLanham2.jpg" width="476" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The curtains emphasize the first floor's 10-foot ceilings.
